Campus Safety has been working closely with both PCC and PSU due to similar prob lems with theft in what appear to be related cases and sent the College sketches to both colleges. Students are advised not to make contact with the people in question. “We have no report of them being armed, but we can’t tell that for sure,” said Criminal Justice Chair Dick Ashbaugh. “Our witnesses haven’t report ed any weapons.” Instead, Ashbaugh advises students to observe from afar and report suspicious per sons or behaviors to Campus Safety. “Contact Campus Safety on a school phone at ext. 6650,” said Ashbaugh. “Let the officer know where they are, which direction they . are headed, what type of clothing they are wearing, and if they are in a vehicle, what type of vehicle it is and its license plate number.” Drawings by: Sacha Snyder Water flou ri dati on plan proves hard to Arguments in favor - Tooth decay 4% less common in areas which have fluoride in water. - Every $1 spent on fluo ridation saves $38 spent on dental care. - Provides prevention for young children whose families can not afford the necessary dental care.
